We love to travel with Holland America. The bar and wait staff are from the Philippines and the hotel staff are from Indonesia. I learned how to say 'thank you', 'good morning', and 'good evening' in both languages. The staff reaction was priceless, and the grins couldn't have been larger. Best yet, I got the most overfilled bar drinks, the freshest servings from the grill, and the most individual attention, to the amazement of many other passengers. It pays to be polite.
